aloe 0.0.18

Gherkin runner compatible with Lettuce

A [Gherkin][gherkin] runner for Python based on [Nose][nose] and [Lettuce][lettuce].

Install:

pip install aloe

Read the [documentation][docs].

Invocation

aloe command line tool is a wrapper for the nose runner, configured to only run Gherkin tests. As such, the invocation is the same as nose, but the following parameters are added:

• -n N[,N…] - only run the specified scenarios (by number, 1-based) in each feature. Makes sense when only specifying one feature to run, for example

  aloe features/calculator.feature -n 1

• –test-class - override the class used as a base for each feature.

• –no-ignore-python - run Python tests as well as Gherkin.

Migrating from Lettuce

Aloe, started as a fork of Lettuce, tries to be compatible where it makes sense. However, there are following incompatible changes:

• each_scenario and each_background callbacks are removed. Use each_example.

• -s option for running particular scenarios is renamed to -n.

• Django-related functionality, including the harvest command, is moved to a separate project, [Aloe-Django][aloe-django].

• terrain.py has no particular significance. It will be imported but only if it exists at the same directory with the other step definition files, and not above it.

TODO

In no particular order:

• Verbose output (all steps printed as they run) is missing.
